Reasons MSN Messenger better than WhatsApp and Snapchat

Now, it is easier to connect with friends due to easily available social networking services like Snapchat, Twitter, Facebookand WhatsAppas a result of smatrphones and internet connections.

But MSN Messenger was the most excited service to connect with friends in past. Social networking messengers were founded by MSN Messenger before the start of latest century. But in 2013, the growing popularity of messaging apps forced Microsoft to eliminate the service in different stages.

2. Status switching

But this option was previously available in MSN. Apart from that, switching to offline to online was also simple in order to send a pop-up message to group of friends.

3. Emojis

Emojis got popularity thanks to MSN but these emojis were quite simple and easily understandable in these days as compared to current emojis. Winky face, guy with sunglasses and devil smiley were the most popular emojis of that time.

4. Show what I’m listening to

Syncing music player with MSN was possible for users due to its feature of “Show What I’m listeing to”. But it was slightly uncomfortable due to high pressure in case you choose the wrong song pop up.

5. The excitement of using the Messenger

Facebook and WhatsApp provide options of instant chat to its users that have taken the charm and beauty of MSN as these features are convenient as compared to excitement of the iconic service.
